Tech job postings are up, but tech candidates aren’t feeling it. This session unpacks the tension between what Dice’s hiring data shows across millions of job signals and what tech professionals are actually experiencing in their search, including rising application fatigue, evolving skill requirements, and growing pressure to have AI experience even for roles that didn’t used to require it. Attendees will leave with a clearer read on where the tech talent market really stands and what it means for how staffing firms position roles, screen candidates, and set expectations with clients.
What attendees will learn:
- Where tech hiring demand is actually growing (and where it’s flat or shrinking) based on real posting data
- Why rising job postings haven’t translated into a better candidate experience
- How AI skills expectations are reshaping what “qualified” looks like, even for non-AI tech roles
- Practical takeaways for setting realistic candidate expectations and sharpening client conversations around what’s actually hirable right now
